Chapter 44) One of them is Evil!

Xavier took a tentative step back, but realized with a sinking feeling that there was no escape. He wasn't going to have the chance to run away from this. Lord Reagan was already stalking towards him with murder in his eyes and an array of seriously sharp daggers ready to answer to his command. Xavier knew that the older mystic was powerful enough to decimate him with just a wave of his mind to release the daggers.

So Xavier stood his ground and waited. He had battled bloodthirsty beasts, survived vengeful power hungry mystics and overcame treacherous situations to get here. He wasn't going to be cast away without some form of explanation or stand off. Running away would not give him any of that.
